The Origin of Prehistoric Burials on the Islands

本研究以德之岛的户町遗址为研究对象，分析琉球群岛史前墓葬制度。研究表明，该地区的棺木材质为珊瑚灰岩，葬姿以仰卧式和多型结构为主，随葬品和随葬品多来源于珊瑚礁环境。但据估计，这一墓葬制度并非与环境封闭，而是通过远距离贸易，由同步信息安排的。

This study analyzes prehistoric burial system in the Ryukyu Archipelago through archaeological research on tomachin site on the Tokunoshima Island. The study reveals that coffin are made of coral limestone, and supine position and multiple type structure are a main burial style, and multiuse accessories and funeral goods are obtained from coral reef environment. However, it is estimated that the burial system was not closed to environment, but it is arranged by synchronous information through long distance trade.
